Steam Launch of Patch...When is this going to happen? (A. Now!)

[Targ Collective]

This is on the border of personal attacks, Lancefighter. While I would frankly love to see this thread locked (I'm getting seriously tired of all these complaints) as a reponsible citizen I must ask you to respect the Forum Rules.

dminor, how about this?

One great idea would be to simply accept the situation, or complain about in on the Steam forums instead of these ones, as this discussion seems to have turned into Steambashing rather than actually discussing the X-Universe.

I suppose on those grounds this should really be moved into Off-Topic. I'm sure the mods have their reasons...

[CBJ]

Registration is optional and is not a factor in whether a forum user should be "respected", and casting aspersions on those who are complaining is no better than them casting aspersions on those who are not. Now let's get away from the personal stuff shall we?

first. i want to apology on a post i did on page 7, just was frustrating. and i vent it.

second. thats fine. but i took it since i was one that did not knew how to put the registration code, until now. but .. im editing it my comments there. moderators and admins job to determine if that type of things are right or wrong. not me. my apologies there too.

third. i will leave this topic go, i said what i had to say.

Regarding Steam's service standards;

I have just raised a query with my credit card provider, Steam are not providing what we entered into a contract with them to provide. This transaction is covered by laws pertaining to retailing in your jurisdiction, I purchased via steam as I was in North America at the time of release. My credit card company have refunded the charges and will pursue Steam for not fulfilling their side of the contract.

BAD idea. If you institute a chargeback, Steam locks your account. Kiss every game you've bought from them goodbye.

It's incredibly retaliatory, but that's what they do.

[Lancefighter]

I meant in no such way to imply a personal attack on anyone here, and I apologize if my words have seemed as such.

Not true, I know from experience (was dissatisfied with another item) they will only lock the game you purchased from that charge back.

Huh. I'd heard otherwise, and did a quick Google before posting to see if this was still the case. I stand corrected.

[vonotto]

I would like to see all the bitchers and moaners hold themselves up to the same standards that they are holding up to Steam.

When some one wants you to to something for them, you must do it immediately.

Now 20 people want you to do something, good luck suckers living up to those standards.


Try to have a thought or Idea that doesn't use "I" or "Me". Try it for 15 min.

This may apply if the 20 people all wanted something different, here everyone wants the same thing. And if you are talking about steam only having one person to upload the patches/games that is just insane for a company there size to have only one person that can do that....what if he died or just left the company......would we need to wait 4 months for them to hire someone and get them up to speed on there system????

Sounds like you're bragging. Congrats, you're wasting a credit card companies time because a software patch didn't come out when you wanted it to. Have fun with your credit report.

[withar]

i don't know about u guys but my Steam X3:TC has started auto patching



Meh, fals alam....still 1.4

[SirMerlin860]

it would be nice if the steam forum was monitored once in a while. i have sent pms to all the moderators and as expected i got no reply. the last update on the site was back in december i think.

i found an easter egg in the game too!

Yeah, that's going to be bad all around. Steam provided your game when you bought it, didn't they Khub? I don't remember any promise to give us updates AT ALL, nevermind giving us updates within a week. Lying to your credit card company about things like that does not make them happy, and the days of credit card companies handing cards out to anyone with a pulse are gone - hopefully forever. Steam sure isn't going to be happy about the false accusation, either.

By the way, is this the first ever 64-bit program distributed by Steam? I'm wondering where they are actually going to put this program now. On a 64-bit machine, "Program Files" holds the 64-bit stuff and "Program FIles (x86)" holds the 32-bit stuff. But Steam always puts its programs in the Steam folder which is sitting in the 32-bit directory. Maybe they will make another Steam folder in the 64-bit directory?

[eladan]

No, because it's not a 64 bit program.

Also I hope he hasn't got any other games on his steam account because he's going to lose them. Valve generally freeze accounts that try the trick he's doing.

[andrewas]

There are 64 bit programs on Steam already. TF2 has a 64 bit mode IIRC. Possibly some earlier titles.

Also, there's no hard and fast rule regarding where 64 bit programs can be stored. I'm not even sure why there are two distinct folders. Binaries execute in 32 or 64 bit mode depending on what they are, not on where they are installed.

[MooMan7777]

no steam release yet?

[andrewas]

Delayed another seven days due to a problem with the existing version.

[Zloth]

No, because it's not a 64 bit program.

Eh?? I thought that's how they were going to break the 2 gig barrier! (Zloth goes off to read the patch note things again.)

[SirMerlin860]

this is still a 32 bit app just with access to upper memory (large address aware)

[eladan]

Yep. If it really was 64 bit, there'd be an awful lot of disgruntled 32 bit users who wouldn't be able to run it!
